Today was another unbelievable day. There was a golf tournament here in Minnesota that was free, so we decided to take the kids. They were excited and know the basics about golf, and know who Tiger is. (This was a seniors tournament though) When we got there I stood in line to wait for Arnold Palmer's autograph. The boys both had on their Masters hats and we thought it would be neat if they could get those signed. We didn't get in. Bummer. But I did schlep the boys inside to at least get a peek at The Great One. As Mr. Palmer was leaving his signing station, he caught sight of Charlie and his hat. He took a double take and came right over to us. He shook Charlie's hand, talked to him, played a little game with him, and laughed. It was one of the most amazing things in the world to watch! Andy and I were in disbelief, and well Charlie, he just thought some nice man was coming up to play with him! We have tried to stress to Charlie just how awesome this man is (was) and how special he is. (Andy and I even joked that hopefully that handshake sent some magical golf powers into Charlie!) Someday. Someday Charlie will understand how cool of an opportunity it was and he'll be able to look back on it. And no, I DID NOT have my camera! Double bummer. Golf tourneys are usually pretty strict about that, so I didn't even try :( Pretty neat, awfully lucky.
